Building Green

Inevitably, whenever a house is built, there is impact to the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that buildings in the United States account for 39 percent of total energy use, 12 percent of total water consumption, 68 percent of total electricity consumption and 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions.

Green building incorporates environmental considerations and resource efficiency into every step of the land development and home building process to minimize the environmental impact. Kevin Green Homes’ goal is to build the best, most sustainable, and practical homes we can build for our customers and the environment.

Green building isn’t new. The concept of using existing materials in resource-efficient ways has been with us since our country’s pioneering days. Of course, there are differences between the approach used hundreds of years ago and now. Even so, builders continue to construct some homes in this country using materials similar to those used long ago. Today, builders are limited to locally available materials. Technological advancements provide homebuilders with a wide variety of ways to implement sustainable green products and services.
